- Call for Speakers at 2nd 'Defence Nanotechnology' Conference -
"Bridging the Gap Between Technology and Applications"
6-7 November, London
This 2-day conference, organised by Defence Event Management in association
with the Institute of Nanotechnology, will create an early opportunity for
delegates to learn first hand, about nanotechnology applications set to
revolutionise areas of the defence industry in the 21st Century.
The conference will consider areas including:
+++ multifunction adaptive (smart) materials +++ nanoengineered functional
materials +++ chemical/biological agent detection/destruction +++ active
chameleon style camouflage systems for wide ballistic protection +++
interactive textiles/clothing that provide passive insulation,
electromagnetic and radio frequency shielding +++ energy harvesting, waste
disposal, water recovery and recycling +++
